The original KKK was created specifically to terrorize blacks in the southern states, attacking those who dared get try to be "uppity" or "rise above their place." Later, when the KKK was revived in the 20th century, it added Jews and Catholics to its list of targets. The goal was to intimidate all of these unwelcome people, driving them from areas where the KKK was strong. In the southern states, the emphasis was always on terrorizing blacks, but in the north, the KKK gained strength in significant part because of anti-immigrant sentement. Many lynchings were attributed to KKK activity, as well as arson and bombings, frequently targeting black churches.

Why does the U.S government not see the KKK or other white supremacist groups as terrorist like they see the Arab terrorist groups?
Because the KKK does not kill people. Individual Klansmen have done so and have been convicted of murder, but they acted alone, in violation of klan rules and ideology. To suggest the Klan be categorized a terrorist group because of that, would mean that every group which has members who murdered someone, would also be labeled as such. The Lions Club, the Elks, the Kiwanis, the Boy Scouts, the NAACP, the American Auto Club, your local church, the U.S. Congress,. Every group would have to be labeled a terrorist group.
